    That’s great, is the training progressive and can you spend your time going over information you don’t understand? As I have no background knowledge

    Yes, the training is very progressive and its just like being at collage or university you will learn theory and then put that knowledge into practice. You will be living with the same group of people on you course so you an l study together when things get difficult and most your staff looking after you will also be electronic technicians so they are on had to hep also.

    Good to hear its your first choice, it is a very rewarding career both in experience and qualifications.

    Not really any points you should talk about just be yourself and do a bit of research into the job from what's on the Army website and you will be fine :)

    Hi, am willing to apply in an engineering role and my three options I choose are vehicle mechanic, aircraft technician and avionics technician. Have only got a C in my English and not in maths am I still able to apply for all three or just one

    Emmanuel yes you can still apply but we would then have to look at the jobs available and if you preform well at the assessment centre and on all our tests scores are high we can have a close look at your GCSEs
